I only subscribed to and started using the mailing lists within the past few months. What I have seen on them, coming from all sides, is very distressing and I, too, am wondering about the usefullness of the mailing lists.
I subscribed to "factory" and "opensuse" mailing lists several years ago. However, I chose the subscribe option, to read them at the archive site instead of having them delivered to my mailbox.
I may drop them because they are too noisy and vitriolic.
I avoid the noise, by only selecting to read the ones that interest me. I read the factory list by date. I read the opensuse list by thread. In both case, I look at the end of the list to see new messages (for factory) or new topics (for opensuse reading by thread).
I am beginning to think that they should be moderated, the same as the forums, as you suggest.
You might say that I am moderating what I read, in the way that I select messages to read in my browser. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
